EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically to Central Park in New York City, USA. The photograph, taken circa 1890, showcases The Fountain, a beloved landmark and a cherished gathering place for locals and tourists alike. The serene scene is illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, casting an ethereal light upon the intricately designed fountain. The Fountain in Central Park, an iconic symbol of New York City's rich history, has been a source of inspiration for artists, poets, and dreamers since its inception. Designed by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect Jacob Wrey Mould, the fountain was completed in 1871. It was originally intended to be a decorative feature for the park, but it quickly became a beloved attraction, drawing visitors from near and far. This photograph, taken in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the beauty and charm of Central Park during a time when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on the park's winding paths. The image also serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that have long defined the human experience - the joy of gathering with loved ones, the beauty of nature, and the magic of a lantern's light on a warm evening. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the enduring allure of Central Park and the memories it holds for generations past and present.
